Which is also traceable to Symbolism...
Does the bold section mean "Saatchi’s Silk Cut campaign is a Surrealist work. As Surrealism is influenced by symbolism, Saatchi’s Silk Cut campaign can be considered a symbolic work as well"?
Context:
Moreover, in their reliance on the suggestibility of the viewer and shorthand methods of representation, Holzer’s texts can be seen as the inverse of the copy-free advertisements that are to be discussed in Chapter 3, such as Saatchi’s Silk Cut campaign (which is also traceable to Symbolism through the influence of that movement on Surrealism).
Top answer
I would say it falls slightly short of claiming that "Saatchi’s Silk Cut campaign is a Surrealist work". It implies that the campaign has some kind of connection to Surrealism, or was some way derived from Surrealism, and, since Symbolism influenced Surrealism, was also in some way derived from Symbolism.
